ENDING GUIDE
Sort Them Ducks Ending Requirements Guide
To unlock the main Sort Them Ducks ending, sort every required duck correctly and finish every shelf. Hidden eggs, all achievements and the four-hour challenge are optional goals rather than ending requirements.
What counts as completing the shop
The official goal is to turn the chaotic shop into a completed collection display. Independent walkthroughs agree that the regular completion state requires filled shelves, no unresolved loose ducks and matching counts.
When the last duck refuses to appear, use the missing-duck fix order before assuming another collectible is required. Official patches have addressed both missing objects and incorrect counters.
What is optional
| Goal | Required for main ending? |
|---|---|
| Correctly sort the shop | Yes — supported completion goal |
| Collect all 10 hidden eggs | No — separate collectible/reward flow |
| Unlock all 20 achievements | No — 100% meta goal |
| Finish within four hours | No — separate achievement |
| Avoid active ability buttons | No — separate achievement |
How to unlock the ending
- Sort every required duck onto the correct regular shelf or special display.
- Check that no unresolved loose ducks remain and that the shelf and shop counts agree.
- If the last duck is missing, update and restart the game, use Respawn Ducks, then inspect shelf backs, windows, high ledges and office gaps.
- Place the final duck correctly and allow the completion sequence to begin.
What happens after the final sort
Third-party walkthroughs report a completion sequence and a Mr. Duck congratulation after the final correct placement. They also document a later office-pedestal choice that duplicates a favorite duck and relates to a hidden achievement.
Treat those scene details as community-documented until the exact final-placement and achievement frames are independently verified. A full playthrough uploader marks an Ending chapter at 02:44:53, which is a chapter marker rather than frame-level proof.
Is there a secret ending?
Available evidence supports one main shop-completion ending followed by a community-documented postgame choice. The 10 hidden eggs lead to a separate giant-egg reward flow, and hidden achievements add optional goals; neither is a verified requirement for a different secret ending.
Because public guides sometimes use ‘all endings’ for the main ending plus postgame or hidden-achievement scenes, this guide keeps those outcomes separate instead of presenting an unverified alternate ending as fact.
Before you conclude the ending is broken
- Confirm every regular shelf and special display.
- Compare loose-duck and shelf counters.
- Update, restart and use Respawn Ducks.
- Inspect shelf backs, windows, high ledges and office gaps.
- Preserve the save and report the version/count if still blocked.
